The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All

[180º]

I wouldn't even mind if Haunted Mansion were to close from August to January to get a proper, faithful restoration and refurbishment. My least favorite part of HMH is how horrible it is for the attraction's condition.

 

[Californian Elitist]

As much as I enjoy HMH, I wouldn't bat an eye if they did away with it entirely.

Are we getting Ghost Galaxy this year? Maybe they can mix the two? A space battle with a giant space skeleton.

Ghost Galaxy's fate hasn't been decided yet. Nothing like waiting til the last minute!

Lol that sounds horrible.

 

[Phroobar]

Lol that sounds horrible.

It sounds like the perfect B-movie to me. I want the 2005 version of Space Mountain back complete with all the projections.

They can base it on the Goosebumps ripoff Galaxy of Fear books.

Oh, wait. Those aren't canon anymore.

Yikes! I've forgotten those existed. Thank goodness those are not canon anymore. I hope TDA doesn't find out about those.

Welp, we have our answer unless the DPB just copied and pasted from last year:

Ghost Galaxy will give Hyperspace a break over Halloween, and the Headless Horseman will join the Halloween parties.

I fear the Headless Horseman won't make the already boring parade any more interesting. But I'll wait and see.

Happy to hear Ghost Galaxy is returning.

Sadly, I read every one of those book...along with every other SW novel ever published. The SW universe became an absolute mess after a couple hundred books, re-booting was the best thing they could do. But that's a whole other messy topic.

That is good news to get Ghost Galaxy for a small amount of time. It won't help reduce the lines though.

For those just joining us, Disneyland Forever and WOC-C will end with the diamond celebration in September. Paint the Night will go seasonal and run at Christmas, spring break and summer only.

I hope World of Color 2010 will be receiving updates, since I doubt a brand-new show is being planned. Seems kinda unnecessary to go back to the 2014/2015 show.

Thanks for the update. Do you know if paint the night will be running in early December or does Christmas just mean Christmas week?

I believe it will run the entire Christmas season (mid Nov - early Jan), but I don't have 100% on that. It would be financially unlikely for them to mount it for one week only over Christmas.

That's BS. Who can I call to change this?

Please email Michael.Colglazier@disney.com. He'd LOVE to hear from you!

Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed that Paint the Night will be running when I get to go back in December. Still, I don't understand why there wouldn't be a parade and fireworks every day, all year at Disneyland. I just got back from Hong Kong Disneyland which seemed like it had 8 people in the park at any one time, and even they have parade and fireworks every night.

In non-celebration years, DL runs their day parade daily, with fireworks and Fantasmic on weekends only, except in peak times like summer, spring break and the Christmas season. WOC runs nightly year round as well. PTN is taking the old MSEP schedule, which was seasonal as well. CA clean air regulations prohibit nightly fireworks at DL every year - they save up credits to use during celebrations like this one.

Also, isn't HKDL beautiful and charming? I could ride Mystic Manor all day every day, and almost did since there was never a line!
